Emeli Sandé – Our Version of Events (2012)
Our Version of Events is the debut studio album by Emeli Sandé, released in February 2012 on Virgin Records and produced primarily by Naughty Boy and Hugo Chegwin. The album was the best-selling album in the UK in 2012, spending an extraordinary 65 weeks in the UK Top 10 — the longest run in the Top 10 by any album since the Beatles — and reaching No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. Sandé had already established herself as one of British music's most in-demand songwriters, having co-written hits for Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis and Professor Green before her own debut arrived. The album showcases her extraordinary voice — a powerful, gospel-rooted instrument of remarkable range and emotional intelligence — across a collection of soul, R&B and contemporary pop that is consistently personal and lyrically ambitious. This expanded edition includes 19 tracks, featuring collaborations with Naughty Boy and Labrinth and a cover of John Lennon's Imagine.
Highlights
- Next to Me — The album's breakthrough single and one of the most played songs on UK radio in 2012; a warm, piano-driven soul-pop song with a lyric of quiet devotion and a vocal performance of complete, unshowy assurance. Sandé's voice is at its most intimate and the song's simplicity is its greatest strength.
- Read All About It (Pt. III) — The album's most anthemic moment and its emotional centrepiece; originally recorded with Professor Green, Sandé's solo version builds from a restrained opening to a full-throated, gospel-inflected climax that is one of the most powerful vocal performances on any British album of the decade.
- Clown — A raw, emotionally direct soul track that showcases Sandé's ability to convey pain and defiance simultaneously; the production is sparse and the vocal is exposed and completely convincing, making it one of the album's most affecting and memorable moments.
- Heaven — The album's opening track and a statement of intent; a gospel-inflected soul song that establishes Sandé's voice and emotional register immediately and demonstrates from the first note that this is an artist of exceptional ability and genuine artistic ambition.
- Beneath Your Beautiful (feat. Labrinth) — One of the expanded edition's most celebrated additions; Sandé and Labrinth's voices complement each other with remarkable ease and the song's gentle, emotionally open quality gives the album one of its most tender and universally appealing moments.
